The carriage stopped in front of the court, and Zhu Houwei stepped out of the carriage first, and then stretched out his hand and let Zhou Yujie's jade arm put on his wrist and helped him out of the carriage.

The only one who can make King Yong love so much and enjoy such treatment is the princess in Yongwang's Mansion, but it is obvious that Zhou Yujie, who was helped down, is not.

In fact, Zhou Yujie has been in the palace for three years, and she has never stepped out of the palace at all, and she doesn't even know that there is such a delicate flower hidden in King Yong's golden house.

Even delicate flowers are not enough to describe Zhou Yujie's beauty, she is just a place to stop, and the flowers in this world seem to have lost their color in an instant.

Laughing at the city, and then laughing at the country, is talking about such a woman.

But Ji Lan knew that it was not, because Princess Yong must be canonized by the imperial court, and now that the saint who is the elder brother has not yet married, how could King Yong give his younger brother a marriage first, even if he made an exception to give marriage, it was impossible for the Huzhou government not to know.

So who is this more delicate woman than Huajiao? It doesn't really matter who it is, the important thing is that Ji Lan only feels that his hands and feet are cold at the moment, and the chill that reveals the bone marrow is permeating his whole body.

As a general judge in Huzhou, Ji Lan can call Ren Xing and order Yan Hong to be taken, but he will never dare to pretend to King Yong!

Although the feudal king cannot interfere in the local military and political affairs, and he will not have much intersection with the officials of the domain, what is a feudal domain?

The feudal land is also a fief, a territory given to the feudal king, and the feudal king in the fief is the emperor of the soil!

As long as the emperor himself does not rebel, does not force the people to rebel, and does not cause the people's resentment to boil, the court is quite tolerant of the vassal king, no matter how careful he is in the background, this face-saving matter, even if it is seen in the face of the ancestors, must be given.

If Ji Lan dares to be disrespectful to King Yong, as long as the news is transmitted back to the imperial court, it is almost inevitable that he will lose his official position, and if it is disrespectful, it is not impossible to behead and raid his home.

"The lower officials have seen the king." No matter how unwilling he was, Ji Lan could only step forward and respectfully salute Zhu Houwei, and as for what happened next, he could only try his best to mediate.

Zhu Houwei nodded with a faint smile and said, "What's the matter?" Such sabre-rattling? ”

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Ji Lan said repeatedly: "The lower official is beheading a serious offender, and the father-in-law suddenly came, so that the lower official cannot be executed, after all, the lower official is in charge of a prison, how can he ignore the law as nothing, so he insists on beheading, which is why there are some skirmishes."

Ren Xing still remembers a casual remark from his master a few years ago.

The vast majority of Confucian literati have studied the so-called sage books all their lives, and in the end, they have not learned a few points in the ability to govern the country and the people, but they have learned the ability to talk about the wind and the moon, chant poetry, and talk nonsense.

Today, Ren Xing can truly understand the deep meaning of his master's words.

Look at the way Ji Lan looked when he was talking nonsense, it really made his face change, as if what he did before had nothing to do with him.

"This king heard that there was an unjust case in Huzhou Mansion, and this king was no different from meddling, but he had nothing to do, so he wanted to see if there was really a grievance in this case, so he let his companion come to the court, why does Lord Ji think that this king is not qualified to ask for grievances for the people?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Ji Lan said embarrassedly: "How dare you alarm the king with some trivial matters, the facts of this case are clear, the evidence is conclusive, the two criminals have all pleaded guilty and drawn into custody, and the lower officials think that there is no need for a retrial."

"It's rare for this king to have such an interest, can Master Ji be accommodating once?"

"This ......" Zhu Houwei's words sounded polite, but how could Ji Lan not know what to say and not listen to it.

At this time, it was meaningless to resist King Yong, so Ji Lan had no choice but to give up: "Since the king is interested, then the lower official should hand over the prisoner, if the Lu Liu family is really wronged, then the lower official is a general judge in Huzhou, it is a dereliction of duty, and he should submit his resignation to the imperial court to atone for his responsibility."

Zhu Houwei smiled, dereliction of duty? At the lightest, these acts are reckless for human life, and Ji Lan only talks about responsibility and not crime, which shows that he does not regard the lives of the people as a matter at all.

At this time, the onlookers directly fried the pot, and originally half of these melon-eating people felt that Lu Liu's was wronged, but now ten out of ten hope that Lu Liu's is really wronged!

Why? Because the favorite of ordinary people is a good official who can make decisions for the people and ask for the people's lives, this kind of official is commonly known as the Qingtian Lord, but the Qingtian Lords are rare animals, and whether they can meet them is purely by luck.

Although the Lord Qingtian is rare, it is not nothing, but it is noble?

Especially to the prince's level of honor, in the eyes of the common people directly there is no good person, this kind of person does not say anything for the people, but anyone who can be less oppressed for a while is good, can be regarded as the glory of the Bodhisattva shining in the world.

The people of Huzhou are better, after all, the Ming Dynasty has not yet been a vassal king, but if it is changed to Henan, Hubei, these places where the vassal kings gather, if you dare to say that the princes of the Ming Dynasty have good people, it is estimated that they may be drowned by the spitting stars.

Zhu Houwei is low-key, and the people in Yongwang's Mansion have never reported any evil servants who oppress the people, as for the properties under the name of Yongwangfu, such as restaurants and money villages, they are also doing business in a proper manner, and they have never heard of oppressing people with power, and it is said that Yongwang has returned the principal and interest by borrowing merchants and silver!

If such a king still deserves a virtuous word, I am afraid that the virtuous king in this world will have long been extinct.

Now this virtuous king, who has never had a sense of existence, suddenly came to the rescue of the Lu Liu family, obviously to be the master of the people!

At this time, Zhu Houwei, who was rumored to be more and more virtuous by the people, had returned to the palace.

The Lu family is also a wealthy gentry family, and the Lu Liu family is not uninformed, but only when he enters the palace does the Lu Liu family know how shallow his eyelids were before.

Compared with the solemnity and nobility of the palace, the so-called compound of the Lu family can only be regarded as an adobe house......

"Lu Liu."

"The women are here." Lu Liu fell to his knees.

Zhu Houwei glanced at the little servant Wang and said: "This king rescued you from the court, it does not mean that it has been determined that you must be wronged, you are convicting the Yamen for the crime, although this king has not seen it in person, but it must exist, that is to say, you have already admitted your crime, even if it is tortured into a trick."

This king only heard that you were crying out in the Dharma field, so he sent someone to wade into this troubled water, how can you prove your innocence, it depends on you, you understand. ”

"The women know." Lu Liu cried: "Since the woman married the master, the relationship has been very good, the woman has not come out for many years, and the master has not taken a concubine, but the woman thought that she couldn't let the Lu family die, so she invited the matchmaker to tell the master about the ...... of a concubine."

Zhu Houwei nodded, Lu Liu's actions are indeed the demeanor of the eldest lady of the house!
